Navajo Old Pawn Style Natural Kingman Turquoise STERLING SILVER Concho Belt

This is an absolutely sensational authentic Navajo handcrafted Turquoise concho belt! This is a copy of an award winning concho belt that was featured in the 1975 March issue of the Arizona Highways magazine.

This spectacular concho belt was handcrafted out of heavy gauge sterling silver and embellished with a stash of premium grade cabs of natural aqua-blue Kingman turquoise with no or barely any matrix from the 1980s (the color looks blue due to the camera used, but cabs are actually aqua-blue). Each of the nine large conchos were hand cut with scalloped edges and hand stamped with traditional Southwestern designs. Smaller cabs of turquoise were set in a ring around the edges to accent the exquisite hand stamped designs. The belt buckle is a work of art by itself. Hand cut and hand stamped with intricate designs and accented with a ring of turquoise.

The conchos measure approx 3 inches long x 2 1/2 inches wide and are backed with genuine leather for more durability. The belt buckle measures about 3 1/4 x 4 inches. The buckle and conchos were given an antique satin finish for an old pawn look. Comes on a genuine 48 inch brown leather belt. The conchos have copper sliders to adjust for a more custom fit. The buckle is stamped Sterling and signed by the Navajo master silversmith Tom Ahasteen with shop hallmark. Comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

A magnificent example of classic old pawn style Turquoise concho belt to add to your collection!
